Lovely design and print. Was looking forward to keeping it in my purse. But when I compared it to the new design iPhone earbuds, it couldn't compare in audio quality. The cords are thinner and flat to make coiling easier, which I suspect cause the poor audio. And I'm not even an audiophile/techno-geek! This is actually an iPod earbuds, and not iPhone. There is a mic/button on the left side cord, but no volume control. I found another cord coiler, so this is now my back-up or spare only...
this are great! love it! they are so cute and stylish! i esp love to wear them while working out! a must have
These little ear buds are comfy and very convenient. I love the magnets to keep them attached without ruining my top. And the retractability is so much more convenient than wrapping around a separate gadget.
Was super excited to get these. However, they were flawed upon arrival. The "retracto" part did not work at all. Disappointing because they are a good concept.
These earbuds with built-in retractor have been great to have on car trips, vacation, and around the house. The sound quality is fine but most importantly, the cord doesn't get mashed up or tangled. I wish I'd had these when I routinely rode the bus! They would make a great gift for just about anyone.
I loved these! I have trouble with earbuds sometimes; they often don't fit my ears properly and hurt, but these were great. The design is cool, and I love that they are retractable, so the cords don't get tangled up in my purse.
I love the idea of this product and even enjoyed the reality of it for a short time but a few weeks into using it, it rendered itself completely useless. There came a point (with nothing beyond normal use) when it just no longer retracted on one end, which makes the whole idea kind of pointless. I give the idea an A and the execution an F.
Yay!! No more tangled headphones!! Super smart and so cute too. I love the floral ones. Now, if only every cord came with a retraction feature....

October 14, 2013
The Madison County School Board is considering a policy that would subject student athletes to random drug tests.
The board held a public hearing on the matter Monday night. Many people in attendance suggested the proposed plan unfairly targets just one group of students.
"We should be inspiring our kids; not treating them like a bunch of drug thugs," said Madison County resident Steve Hawkins.
The policy states it is not about being academically punitive, but rather to ensure student health while participating in athletics. But some people think the proposal goes about it the wrong way.
"If illegal substances are being abused, it's not just the athletes who are going to be abusing them," said Madison County resident Alan Weakley. "They're illegal for everyone -- faculty, the staff, the entire student body."
Under the proposed policy, students and parents would sign a pledge program and agreement where the student pledges not to use drugs or alcohol.
Once they are on a team roster, middle and high school student athletes would be eligible to be randomly tested.
About one in five student athletes would be required to take a drug test each sports season.
A positive test could mean suspension from 20 percent of games for a first violation, to being permanently ineligible to play school sports after a fourth violation.
While most people agreed there should be efforts in place to prevent drug use, many at Monday's public hearing said random testing of athletes isn't it.
"If our kids are acting badly, then we need to address it whatever way we need to do it -- put them in drug programs," said Madison County resident Mary Grace. "But the idea of random drug testing, I think, is off base, very expensive and not always right."
Madison is not the only county to consider drug testing student athletes. In August, the Orange County School Board approved a similar program that also included students in extra-curricular activities.
The Madison County School Board is expected to vote on the policy in November.

text: I was hired as the ScienceWorks' first professional executive director in August 2003. Prior to my appointment as director, I worked for ScienceWorks as both a volunteer and consultant and was part of the original advisory group that founded the museum in 2002. Before moving to Oregon, I provided marketing and management leadership at the Pittsburgh Zoo and the Pittsburgh Center for the Arts and engaged in collaborations with the Carnegie Science Center, the Pittsburgh Children's Museum and the Carnegie Museum of Art. I have a M.A. in Speech Communication from Miami University of Ohio and have taught at several universities including DePauw University and Butler University in Indianapolis. In the first three years of ScienceWorks, I have seen the museum transform from a fledgling initiative to a recognized "community treasure.†The museum has grown and a large part of my work has been in the development of local, regional and national collaborations that share knowledge and resources among museums and other nonprofit organizations. I serve on a number of advisory boards with Southern Oregon University and have been a presenter at regional museum conferences and at the Association of Science and Technology Centers annual conference. I became involved with the NISE Network representing a small science museum. I am interested in exploring how small science centers can present exhibits of cutting-edge science. In addition, I am personally interested in the future of nano science technologies in environmental remediation.

Don't Let Black Friday Lead to the January Blues
NEW YORK ( MainStreet) Some Americans are planning to be too generous during this holiday shopping season, ignoring the reality of the huge credit card statements they will face in the new year.
While some avid shoppers are already counting down the days until the Black Friday bonanza, the National Foundation for Credit Counseling recommends that consumers avoid the ramifications of overspending.
One top priority is to avoid incurring new debt on top of your current debt. If you are still paying off purchases from 2012, your debt is being carried over from month to month. Cardholders have lost the benefit of a grace period, which is the time during which a person can pay the monthly credit card bill before interest begins to accrue. When debt is revolved, new purchases begin to incur interest immediately.
This means that you are paying interest on the interest already accrued. When a debt is not paid in full by the due date, interest is added to the balance. This amount adds up over time, creating an impediment to becoming debt free.
"Now is the time for financial awareness, not after the damage is done," said Gail Cunningham, spokesperson for the NFCC. "Consumers need to ask themselves if taking on unmanageable debt this holiday season is worth putting their financial well-being at risk."
Watch the late and over-limit fees, because they can cause balances to grow to an unmanageable level. Issuers may charge a late fee of $25 with the first late payment and with 45 days notice increase the annual percentage rate (APR) to a higher interest rate on new purchases. However, consumers who make late payments more than once in a six-month period may be assessed a higher late fee with the penalty APR also applied to existing balances.
Consumers can utilize the NFCC's free online financial self-assessment tool at www.MyHolidayCheckUp.org to receive a quick snapshot of their current financial picture to make wise spending decisions before they embark on a shopping spree.
Nearly half of Americans (43.2%) don't plan on changing their spending habits this year, but almost one in seven are more likely to sign up for store credit cards to get discounts during the holidays, according to a recent survey conducted by Hearst-owned account management service Manilla.com.
The survey also found significant differences in holiday spending plans in various areas of the country, as well as between men and women.
"Given the current economic situation, we felt it was important to look at consumer spending and credit card habits for the holidays, particularly at how behavior differs this time of year and how this year's behavior will compare to last year's," said Jim Schinella, CEO of Manilla. "We found that expectations for holiday spending differed across regions, with some areas planning significantly less spending than last year while others plan to spend about the same, pointing to the fact that not everyone is impacted equally by current financial realities."

Parenting Perspectives: Like beauty, coolness is in the eye of the beholderI have noted before that there is a vast distance between me and my daughter on the coolness scale.
By: Kathy Tofflemire, INFORUM
I have noted before that there is a vast distance between me and my daughter on the coolness scale.
I attribute some of this to the fact my daughter looks much younger than her 41 years. That's not to say older people aren't cool or perceived accordingly. Think Mick Jagger or David Letterman. It just doesn't usually apply to me.
I have to say I've really never aspired to be cool. I always wanted to be considered classy. I don't know why, and it doesn't matter because I have never even come close.
Actions aside, the cool factor would seem to apply to what you wear and what you drive.
My daughter's friend who sells cars likes to, for fun, try to match shoppers with a vehicle type before he approaches them on the sales lot.
For my daughter, he would have said a minivan. He was likely teasing her, but her protestations were loud and immediate.
She may be a "soccer mom" (or in her case, football and basketball), but she would never, ever be seen driving a minivan. Once the proud owner of a Camaro and being someone who would feel right at home on a racetrack, she finds such a vehicle to be decidedly "not cool."
And what better way to impress a teenage boy than to pull up at his school driving a new, sporty Dodge with assorted bells and whistles – a loaner while her car was in the shop. Her child was impressed and wished he could claim it as his own.
My little Saturn isn't very cool, but it does have a spoiler and a sun roof, which is about as groovy (dating myself here) as this grandma is probably going to get. But would I drive a candy-apple-red Mustang convertible if I could afford one? Absolutely!
Recently, my child waded through my closet looking for office attire she could wear to work for dress-up day – or, in her case, night – when the higher-ups were visiting.
A majority of the possibilities were too "old lady-ish." News flash, dear daughter: I fit the criteria. And some of my fashion choices she considered too bold and colorful. Apparently dressing cool, at least for her, requires subtlety – nothing that "shouts."
She did finally find some slacks she actually liked and a couple of "cute" tops, evidence that my fashion sense has not gone completely "over the hill."
My daughter measures her coolness by how she is accepted by her older son's "peeps." It amuses her that his friends, particularly the girls, greet her with delight as if she were a fellow middle-schooler. Is her son amused by this? Not so much.
But her younger son put her in her place recently during an elementary school art night at which he preferred to hang with his schoolmates rather than his parents.
"But I'm a cool parent," my daughter protested, to which he replied: "Mom, just because you are wearing a leather jacket doesn't make you cool."
But does the 10-year-old think his grandmother qualifies as cool?
Of course.

How will you vote in November?
Filed by Rachel Hubbard in Feature, Uncategorized.
September 25, 2012
A state question on the November ballot would remove Oklahoma's governor from the parole process. Oklahoma is now the only state where the governor must sign off on each parole after the parole board approves the inmate for release. Some look at it as a money issue. Governor Mary Fallin approves 51 percent of the inmates the parole board recommends. With an annual lock-up cost per inmate at more than $15,000 each year, it's expensive for the state to keep people in prison. However, do we really want to risk letting inmates out who might offend again? In addition, the ethics of the parole board are now in question. Earlier this year, the parole board was accused of secretly considering inmates for parole who weren't yet eligible. So, is having the governor involved in the parole process a good check and balance system for the state or a redundancy that costs taxpayers thousands of dollars each year? Join us for a discussion on the issue Wednesday, September 26 at 6 p.m at Picasso Café in Oklahoma City's Paseo Arts District.
2 Responses to "How will you vote in November?"
Love the idea that you are having these—wish my schedule allowed attendance.
I am not sure, but I think the prison system is so over-loaded that I think they may do early outs because of the needed space. (this is a guess). We have inmates that come and go that help clean our facility (a State Agency). It seems that, admirably, they are given some programs to complete regarding ethics and psychological/social issues, but we have still had some inmates that have disappointed us by stealing from us. These are women, and though their accounts of their situation are skewed in their favor, it sounds as it there is also some abuse going on with people who are custodians of these people. That is probably another issue…..

The Finger Lakes area of NY State has many lodging choices for tourists and visitors, but it can be a difficult task to find upscale amenities. The discerning traveler today is searching for greater luxury and comfort. It is not common for inns, bed and breakfast or hotels to offer luxuries such as plush pillowtop mattresses, down/feather pillows and fine Egyptian cotton linens. Even harder to find are spacious, well designed private bathrooms or charming public areas where guests can relax and enjoy themselves. These are the standard in the Halsey House guest rooms and we continue to look for ways to take our amenities to the next level.
This month we are retrofitting our already spacious custom guest showers with new, higher shower heads for the comfort of our tall customers. The new heights are between 6'8″ and 7′. While those of us closer to the ground will still experience a wonderful shower, those people vertically blessed will enjoy not having to duck to wash their hair. Combine tall showers with our vanities built at 35″ high and comfort-height toilets and it becomes clear this inn was remodeled with adults comfort in mind. The entire first floor of the Halsey House, including the guest room Indulgence, has 10′ ceilings. The second floor is at 8′ with no dormers or sloped ceilings to navigate on your way to bed.
Speaking of beds, when Mitch and I travel the first criteria I search for in lodging is a premium pillowtop mattress. I am the woman in the story The Princess and the Pea. It is fairly rare for us to find an inn that displays this information, and even more rare when the place we choose lives up to its promise of a comfortable bed. Many times we have spent hours of our first day of vacation searching out a store that has a feather bed topper we can buy in order to sleep well on a hard mattress. Often we can't fit this topper in our luggage to take home, but we need to have a good night's sleep so we can enjoy the days of our vacation.
We believe our customers are entitled to the superior level of comfort we seek, so our guest rooms feature the most comfortable pillowtop mattresses we could find. Judging by the number of people who ask us what mattresses they are so they can go home and buy one, I think we chose well. A great night's sleep is just one of the amenities you should expect from an upscale bed and breakfast.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) is a charity that saves lives at sea around the British Isles (Great Britain, Ireland, the Channel islands and the Isle of Man) as well as on selected inland waterways.
The RNLI was founded on 4 March 1824 as the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck, with Royal Patronage from George IV. It was given the prefix "Royal" and its current name in 1854 by Queen Victoria. It has official charity status in both the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland.[1][2]
The RNLI operates 444 lifeboats (332 are on station, 112 are in the relief fleet), from 236 lifeboat stations around the coasts of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. The RNLI's lifeboats rescued an average of 22 people a day in 2011. RNLI lifeboats launched 8,321 times in 2012, rescuing 7,912 people. The RNLI's lifeboat crews and lifeguards have saved more than 140,000 lives since 1824. RNLI lifeguards placed on selected beaches around England, Wales, Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands attended to 14,519 incidents in 2011. The RNLI's Operations Department defines "rescues" and "lives saved" differently.[3]
In 2012, the RNLI Lifeguards service was expanded to cover more than 180 beaches.[4] RNLI lifeguards are paid by the appropriate town or city council, while the RNLI provides their equipment and training. In contrast, most lifeboat crew members are unpaid volunteers. The RNLI is funded by voluntary donations and legacies (together with tax reclaims). In 2011, the RNLI's income was £162.9M, while its expenditure was £140.6M.[5]
Sir William Hillary came to live on the Isle of Man in 1808. Being aware of the treacherous nature of the Irish Sea, with many ships being wrecked around the Manx coast, he drew up plans for a national lifeboat service manned by trained crews. Initially he received little response from the Admiralty. However, on appealing to the more philanthropic members of London society, the plans were adopted and, with the help of two Members of Parliament (Thomas Wilson and George Hibbert), the National Institution for the Preservation of Life from Shipwreck was founded in 1824.
Thirty years later the title changed to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and the first of the new lifeboats to be built was stationed at Douglas in recognition of the work of Sir William.
At the age of 60, Sir William took part in the rescue, in 1830, of the packet St George, which had foundered on Conister Rock at the entrance to Douglas Harbour. He commanded the lifeboat and was washed overboard with others of the lifeboat crew, yet finally everyone aboard the St George was rescued with no loss of life. It was this incident which prompted Sir William to set up a scheme to build The Tower of Refuge on Conister Rock – a project completed in 1832 which stands to this day at the entrance to Douglas Harbour.[6]
In its first year, the RNLI added 13 boats to the existing 39 independent lifeboats.[7] By 1908 there were 280 RNLI lifeboats and 17 independents.
In action[edit]
Since the RNLI was founded in 1824, its lifeboats and lifeguards have saved over 139,000 lives (as of May 2011).[8]
The RNLI operates two classes of inshore lifeboats, inflatable boats and RIBs of 25–40 knots, and five classes of all-weather motor life boats, with another (Shannon-class) currently in development, with speeds ranging from 17 to 25 knots. It maintains 330 lifeboats based at 236 lifeboat stations. It also has four hovercraft that were introduced in 2002, allowing rescue on mud flats and in river estuaries inaccessible to conventional boats. The crews of the lifeboats are almost entirely volunteers. The 4,600 boat crew members, including over 300 women, are alerted by pagers and attend the lifeboat station when alerted.
Throughout Great Britain and Ireland, ships in distress, or the public reporting an accident, must contact the emergency services:
- by telephoning 999 or 112
- on medium frequency (frequency 2,182 kHz),
- or on VHF radio (channel 16)
The call will then be redirected to HM Coastguard or the Irish Coast Guard, as appropriate.
The Coastguard co-ordinates air-sea rescue and may call on the RNLI (or other independent lifeboats) or their own land-based rescue personnel or rescue helicopters to take part. Air-Sea rescue helicopters are provided by CHC Helicopter,[9] the R.A.F., the Royal Navy, the Maritime & Coastguard Agency (HM Coastguard), and the Irish Air Corps.
The biggest rescue in the RNLI's history was on 17 March 1907 when the 12,000 tonne liner SS Suevic hit the Maenheere Reef near Lizard Point in Cornwall. In a strong gale and dense fog, RNLI lifeboat volunteers rescued 456 passengers, including 70 babies. Crews from The Lizard, Cadgwith, Coverack and Porthleven rowed out repeatedly for 16 hours to rescue all of the people on board. Six silver RNLI medals were later awarded, two to Suevic crew members.[10]
Dunkirk evacuation[edit]
Nineteen lifeboats of the RNLI sailed to Dunkirk between 27 May and the early hours of 4 June 1940 to assist with the Dunkirk evacuation. Those from the lifeboat stations at Ramsgate and Margate were taken directly to France with their usual volunteer crews, but the others sailed to Dover where they were requisitioned by the Royal Navy, which provided the crews. Some of the RNLI crews remained behind in Dover and set up a workshop to repair and fuel the little ships. One lifeboat—The Viscountess Wakefield—was lost after it was run onto the beach at Dunkirk.[11] The Jane Holland was holed when a Motor Torpedo Boat rammed her and her engine failed after being machine gunned by an aircraft. She was abandoned but later found adrift, towed back to Dover and repaired. She returned to service on 5 April 1941.[12]
The lifeboats included:
- The Cyril and Lilian Bishop (RNLI official number 740); a 35 ft 6 in (10.82 m) self-righter from Hastings.[13]
- Jane Holland; a 40 ft (12 m) self-righter from Eastbourne.[12]
- The Michael Stevens (ON 838); a 46 ft (14 m) Watson class from Lowestoft.[14]
- The Viscountess Wakefield (ON 783); a 41 ft (12 m) Watson class from Hythe, Kent.[15]
- Thomas Kirk Wright (ON 811); a 32 ft (9.8 m) Surf class from Poole.[16]
- The Abdy Beauclerk (ON 751) the Aldeburgh No: 1 Watson Class lifeboat.
- The Lucy Lavers (ON 832) the Aldeburgh No: 2 Liverpool Class lifeboat.
- Unnamed ON 826; a 35 ft 6 in (10.8 m) newly built self-righter. She was repaired then entered service in 1941 at Cadgwith with the name Guide of Dunkirk.[16]
- Mary Scott; then at Southwold, the Mary Scott was towed to Dunkirk by the paddle steamer Emperor of India together with two other small boats. Between them they took 160 men to their mother ship, they made a journey with fifty men to another transport vessel. She was abandoned on the beach, recovered and returned to service with the RNLI at Southwold.
- Dowager; launched 1933, as the Rosa Woodd and Phyllis Lunn. Based at Shoreham, she made 3 trips between Dover and Dunkirk.
- Stenoa; launched 1929, as Cecil and Lilian Philpott. Then at Newhaven, she saved 51 persons from the beach at Dunkirk. Then returned to RNLI service at Newhaven.
However, not all those called upon to serve did so enthusiastically. Some life boat crews, and the Rye fishing fleet, were invited to participate, but declined to assist the operation.[17]
The RNLI has two main categories of lifeboat:
- All-weather boats
- Large boats with enclosed wheelhouses and survivor spaces below deck, which are self-righting and can go out in all weather conditions.
- Inshore lifeboats
- Smaller boats that operate closer to the shore than all-weather lifeboats and are able to operate in shallower waters.
Over the years, many members of boat and launching crews have been killed during, or died as a result of, lifeboat operations.

Roll of honour[edit]
Lifeboat crew members have been awarded medals for their bravery. The RNLI awards three classes of medal; Gold, Silver and Bronze. To date the number of medals awarded are:
- Gold: 150
- Silver: 1564
- Bronze: 793 (only issued since 1917).
One of the most notable recipients is Henry Blogg, of the Cromer lifeboat crew, who was awarded the RNLI gold medal three times (and the silver four times). He also received the George Cross and the British Empire Medal. He is known as "The Greatest of all Lifeboatmen".
The youngest recipient of a RNLI medal was eleven-year-old Frederick Carter who, along with sixteen-year-old Frank Perry, was awarded a Silver Medal for a rescue at Weymouth in 1890.
The Thanks of the Institution Inscribed on Vellum is also given for notable acts.
One lifeboat received an award. For the Daunt lightship rescue in 1936, the RNLB Mary Stanford and her entire crew were decorated.[18]
Grace Darling was 22 years old when she risked her life in an open boat to help the survivors of the wrecked SS Forfarshire on 7 September 1838. With her father, she rowed for over a mile through raging seas to reach them.[19]
Famous lifeboat-saviours[edit]
- Henry Freeman of Whitby, coxswain for 22 years
- Grace Darling, daughter of lighthouse keeper, rescued survivors with a rowing boat
- Henry Blogg, coxswain of Cromer for 37 years, retired at age of 71
- Henry "Shrimp" Davies, coxswain of the Cromer Lifeboat with 45 years service

- John Buchan McLean, coxswain of the Peterhead Lifeboat (1937–54) received the Gold Medal, the first in Scotland for 104 years, and an inscription on vellum for services to RNLI.[20]
The headquarters of the RNLI are in Poole, Dorset. The RNLI site is located adjacent to the Holes Bay in Poole Harbour. It includes RNLI HQ, lifeboat maintenance and repair facilities, the Lifeboat Support Centre and RNLI College (the training centre). The support centre and college were opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 2004.[21] Specialist training facilities include a wave and capsize pool, a fire simulator, a bridge simulator and an engineering workshop.[22]
A new headquarters for the RNLI Ireland was officially opened at Airside in Swords, north County Dublin, in June 2006 by Her Excellency President Mary McAleese. The Chairman of the Executive Committee of the RNLI, Admiral Sir Jock Slater, R.N., a former British First Sea Lord, was in attendance at this ceremony.
The RNLI maintains a number of museums recording the history and activity of the Institution along with preserved lifeboats.
The official RNLI Historic Lifeboat Collection forms the "Lifeboat" display within Chatham Historic Dockyard and includes 17 historic vessels.[23]
The Grace Darling Museum, opened in 1938 at Bamburgh in Northumberland commemorates Grace Darling's rescue of the SS Forfarshire in 1838.[24]
Additionally, the Lifeboat Enthusiasts' Society (a branch of the RNLI)[25] and an independent organisation, the Historic Lifeboat Owners Association,[26] promote the study and preservation of lifeboats.

Printers - Receipt Printers - Epson Receipt Printers
Receipt Printers are also known as "thermal printers" which produce printed images and words by selectively heating coated thermal paper. The coating turns black or other colors in the areas where it is heated, producing an image. Maintenance is minimal in Receipt Printers, and changing paper rolls and ink cartridges is relatively simple. Most retail stores and outlets utilize Receipt Printers for either the cash register or for credit card receipts.

Northwest side resident Willie James Cleveland, 32, is accused of stealing dozens of cell phones from a kiosk at North Star Mall in January.
San Antonio police conducted a traffic stop shortly after the theft on Jan. 27 and said they found 39 of the 40 stolen phones in Cleveland's car, according to an arrest warrant affidavit. The phones are valued at more than $24,000, the affidavit stated.
Cleveland was arrested at the time on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm. A theft charged was added this past Wednesday.
Police said they returned the phones to the owner after he identified them through their serial numbers, the affidavit stated.

It is all a horrible nightmare, how this life of mine has played out with betrayal...but all I will say about the double was it was unlike anything I have ever gone through, and it was the straw that nearly had me take my own life. But I didn't, and here I am, removed from the daily trauma of it...but it still is a dark memory.

Both giving our best to R.

I'm in this group too.
My H had a three year A with my best friend.
Trouble is, she became my "best friend" after she was already sleeping with my husband so it was three years of being stabbed in the back while thinking that I'd found a friend for life.
Live and learn.
D-day was almost 7 years ago so I've left most of the feelings in the past and healed pretty well.
I will never understand how she could become my "friend" and look me in the face when she was doing what she was doing.

My daughter was on a school field trip to Chicago and the last FB was one of the chaprones.
FB HATESsnakes. The group went to a zoo that had a large snake exhibit.
My daughter insistedthe whole group go through the Snake House knowing full well that FB hates them.
I love my daughter so
One day I just got so upset and said, "You aren't going to see her ever again." She asked me why and I said, "Because she was very mean to mommy and did something that hurt her alot." Again she asked why and I just answered, "I don't know."
kdny - how did you get past the betrayal of your friend? Did you have it out with her, did you ignore her, did she approach you or did you approach her? I really don't want any contact but there is a R problem with the OP when you choose not to make contact for a sense of closure. I'd be very interested to see how you got past this with your X?friend
D-day happened when her husband (also our friend) found out and sent me an e-mail.
I then wrote her a letter and mailed it. She left a message on my machine that said "it wasn't just me".
For the next two months before she moved away (Thank God) we e-mailed a few times.
I never really got a sincere apology.
I went through severe withdrawal from the friendship. I mourned the loss of what I thought I'd had and felt like such a fool for being so blind.
It took me a long time to be able to reach the "indifference" stage. I'd say probably 3 years.
I was left with a complete distrust of any female relationship. That didn't go away until last year and that was with the help of some wonderful people I met here at SI.
Getting past this takes a long time and lots of soul searching but you will get past it.
It's funny. I haven't spoken to her for years now and I have not really missed her (kinda hated her too much) but just a few minutes ago I found myself thinking I wish we were still talking because she'd probably know the answer to a question that's been dogging me.
And then I saw this thread.

As many know - my W had a 2.5 year EA including the last 1.5 years as a PA with my married cousin, who was also my pastor. I knew him much longer than my wife and we built a church together. So from this mess - along with the horrible things lost in an affair, I lost my cousin, his parents, my church, and many friends from the church who stayed to protect him.
Funny how after so much is lost, it becomes clear what is worth fighting for and what is really important.
How many of you found after double betrayal it was easy to prioritize the things in your life - and that prioritization was different than before the affair?
The cost of an A - VERY HIGH
The value of a FWW moving heaven and earth to make things right - PRICELESS
I am a much different person than I was then.
The things that I thought were important then are no longer important.
My priorities are much different now.
Before the A God, church, church work, kids, wife, work. I never really thought about the marriage - because I loved my W and I was doing God's work I assummed every thing else would fall into place. What a fool I was. My W pretty much agrees with this - except she thinks my work was after church work and before kids. I was very buy in a very stressful job, but never felt this way. However, others perceptions are their reality.
Thinking I was doing God's work I killed myself by - opening Sunday service, leading song service, preaching sometimes, teaching the teens every other Wednesday, church treasurer, and a trustee. Then every Saturday I worked to remodel the church, my fathers home, or work on other church members homes. I never started one of those projects without talking to my wife, talking to my pastor, and without praying about it. This went on for 7 years. My wife saw how happy it made me to work for God so she never said no. I thought her response and the pastor's response was God answering my prayer, so I never said no to these projects. In hind site, the pastor was telling me to do these projects to keep me away from my W, so he could manipulate her.
Now my priorities are God, Wife/Marriage, Kids, family, work. Still not making myself a priority

CGI has become so commonplace in movies and TV shows now, that at times you don't even notice them. That was the case in the season finale of AMC's smash hit THE WALKING DEAD. Yes, you probably didn't notice it either but most of the "walkers" on the finale were indeed created by the use of computer animation. Something that is usually saved for big budget movies is now finding its way onto the small screen.
Check out the video below with THE WALKING DEAD'S visual effects supervisor Victor Scalise and look for THE WALKING DEAD: Season 3 to hit everywhere this fall, except maybe DishNetwork, yep sorry Dish subscribers. More on that as it breaks.

Hello! My name is Nancy Kiser and I am the volunteer administrator of this Phillips DNA Project and One-Name Study, along with two volunteer co-administrators, Tom Hutchison and Virginia Phillips-Smith. My maternal grandmother was a Phillips and I have been researching Phillips history and genealogy since 1998. In 2006, I got interested in using yDNA testing in conjunction with traditional genealogical research methods. If you are also a Phillips researcher, please consider joining us in this new and exciting frontier of genealogical research!
If you are a male Phillips or some variation thereof and you live in the UK or Ireland or elsewhere in Europe, you may qualify for a free yDNA test if you are willing to provide a five generation Phillips pedigree. Please contact us for details. We would love to welcome you as a member!
DNA testing for genealogical purposes has become very popular and fairly affordable since its introduction in 2000. The main emphasis has been on surname projects, because surnames and yDNA are passed down hand-in-hand over the generations from father to son with only limited changes. Men who share the same last name or some variation of it are recruited to take a DNA test, and then results are compared to discover which of them are related within a genealogical time frame, which generally means within the past 600 years.
Phillips women cannot donate DNA for Phillips research, because they do not have yDNA, but they can participate by recruiting male Phillips members of their Phillips family for yDNA analysis. By joining a surname DNA project, people interested in family history with matching DNA can compare notes and make connections, perhaps enabling them to trace back several generations further than they could without DNA comparisons. Equally important, yDNA can tell you if your Phillips line does not match another Phillips line, which will help you avoid making false connections and pursuing wild goose chases. Also, DNA analysis can reveal the general region where the ancient ancestor of the participant originated; i.e., Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Central Europe, Western Europe, the Mediterranean, the British Isles, etc. Please note that our current newsletter is posted on the News page of this website and pending results are posted on the Results page. Some discussion about the origin of the surname Phillips is posted on the Project Goals page. Just click on the News tab or the Results tab or the Project Goals tab in the sidebar on the left-hand side of your screen to access these pages.
In addition, we maintain three other websites at these sites:
There is more information about the project to be found on these websites, including the Phillips pedigrees of our participants which are posted on the yLineages page at our main web site and the Patriarchs page at our Worldfamilies Network web site. Additional in-depth information about the origin of the surname Phillips can be found on our Phillips one-name-study web site. We also have a profile posted on the Guild of One-Name Studies at this site: http://www.one-name.org/profiles/phillips.html.

Gateway Community Initiative In Michigan: Waterloo Recreation Area
Downtown Chelsea, Michigan.
Photo by Kendra Briechle/The Conservation Fund
At A Glance
"We are deep in the throes of our first Gateway project: Rails-to-Trails Shared-Use Path Conversion of the former NYCRR railbed from the Leonard Preserve to Village Hall through the center of Manchester. There have been two Council meetings and a large public input session. The project is receiving overwhelming community support." — Raymond Berg, President, Manchester Area Chamber of Commerce
Waterloo Recreation Area in Michigan is a little-known treasure. About a one-hour drive from Ann Arbor, this 20,000-acre park is the largest in the lower peninsula and shares a 36-mile hiking trail with the Pinckney State Recreation Area. Yet there wasn't much to entice visitors or local residents to explore this pristine wilderness and all of the recreational opportunities it offers. Only one exit from the highway leads to the park, and the local communities had virtually no relationship with the vast wilderness at their border.
One exception was in Chelsea where a painted wooden sign in the town center declares it is "The Gateway to the Waterloo-Pinckney Recreation Area" (see image below). Bob Pierce, a Chelsea community leader, knew most people wouldn't think of his community as a gateway to these recreation areas. The challenge was how to make it one.
It was a chance encounter with Fund staff at a local event that led Bob and a few of his colleagues to attend the Conservation Leadership Network's Balancing Commerce and Nature course at the National Conservation Training Center in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. The course, designed to bring community leaders and public land managers together, teaches communities to make the most of their proximity to public lands while also protecting the natural resources of the area and the character of the community.
Bob and his colleagues left the course inspired and with an action plan to create the Gateway Communities Initiative: An ongoing series of meetings with leaders from the communities bordering the Waterloo Recreation Area and other local public lands as well as the towns of Chelsea, Manchester, Dexter, Pinckney, and Stockbridge and Washtenaw and eastern Jackson counties.
Our Conservation Leadership Network Travels To Michigan
The Gateway Communities Initiative invited the Conservation Leadership Network to Michigan to kick off the initiative with a three-day Balancing Commerce and Nature workshop. Led by the Fund's Kendra Briechle, the workshop was tailored to the specific needs of the communities and the Waterloo-Pinckney recreation areas. Attendees learned about the value of conservation; the benefits and opportunities from fostering sustainable tourism; and the prospect of enhanced place-based education for the area's young people.
The workshop also provided local leaders with an opportunity to develop action plans for making the most of the relationship between the communities and the neighboring recreation areas. The course has had a real impact in the area. Every month for one year, community leaders, including the Fund's Ann Arbor-based Ginny Trocchio, met to discuss how to develop a better infrastructure and identify opportunities that would enhance both the public lands and their communities.
The results?
Manchester is developing a historical tour as a model for other themed tours that Manchester and other communities can use, Dexter has proposed building an information center at the east entrance to the park, and Chelsea has pledged to create better signs to direct visitors to the park.
Another great result of the Gateway Communities Initiative is the appreciation residents now have for the surrounding public lands. There is greater awareness that public lands can be a source of economic development as well as community pride.
The Balancing Commerce and Nature course has sparked a true partnership between Chelsea and the other communities bordering the Waterloo-Pinckney park lands. We have no doubt that these Michigan communities will be models of how to balance nature with development for other towns that border public lands in the state.

LETTER FROM ROME about the Principessa Rita Boncompagni Ludovisi. One bright September morning in Rome, Her Serene Highness the Principessa Rita Boncompagni Ludovisi stood with half a dozen Japanese tourists and a German couple under "Jupiter, Pluto, and Neptune," the only painting Caravaggio is known to have executed on a ceiling. The Principessa, a very trim, pretty woman with platinum-blond hair, is sixty-one, but she looks about forty-five. She was born Rita Carpenter, in San Antonio, and grew up in Austin. She spent five years in Washington, D.C., married to Representative John Jenrette, a South Carolina Democrat; shortly before their divorce, in 1981, she appeared in Playboy. Rita lived in L.A. next, and pursued an acting career, then subsequently moved to New York City, where she worked as an on-camera reporter for "A Current Affair," and then a real-estate broker. She met her current husband, Nicolò Boncompagni Ludovisi, in 2003, when a friend of his asked her to serve as his broker. She was ultimately persuaded to go to Rome, where she fell in love and became a princess. Since she moved to Rome, the Principessa has devoted herself to the restoration of Villa Aurora, which was erected in 1570 by Francesco del Nero. In the garden, there's a statue of Pan by Michelangelo. There are frescoes by Domenichino, Tassi, and Valesio. Last summer, the Prince and his wife happened upon a trove of a hundred and fifty thousand pages of historical documents, including letters from Marie Antoinette and King Louis XV, in a storage room. Rita wrote about Jenrette's philandering in an article that accompanied her Playboy spread. She also made the claim that she and Jenrette had made love on the steps of the Capitol late one night. That period of her life still haunts her, the Principessa said. So far, Prince Nicolò has spent more than a million dollars on Villa Aurora's restoration. The Principessa, like Francesco del Monte and Ludovico Ludovisi, wants the villa to be a haven for intellectuals and artists. This fall, she gave a dinner for Woody Allen. In 1947, the family donated the bulk of the Boncompagni Ludovisi papers to the Vatican. But the documents that were retained have the family genealogy. Mentions T. Corey Brennan, Jana Dambrogio, and the Marquis Giovanni Battista Guerrieri Gonzaga. Prince Nicolò has a complicated relationship with his sons, Francesco, Ignazio, and Bante, from his first marriage, to Principessa Benedetta Maria Barberini Colonna di Sciarra. Mentions the private club Circolo della Caccia. "My goal now is to protect [the Prince's] archives for posterity," the Principessa said. It sometimes seems that Rita doesn't quite see the link between her actions and the way other people respond to them. Now, as a noblewoman, she is not outside—she is, like the Caravaggio, above. But when you hear her describe the decades of judgment, real or imagined, that she has endured, it's not entirely clear if the big mistake was her former husband's or her own.

As Rita Jenrette, she scandalized Washington. Now she's a princess.

Waste Management for the Food IndustriesBy
- Ioannis Arvanitoyannis
The continuously increasing human population, has resulted in a huge demand for processed and packaged foods. As a result of this demand, large amounts of water, air, electricity and fuel are consumed on a daily basis for food processing, transportation and preservation purposes. Although not one of the most heavily polluting, the food industry does contribute to the increase in volume of waste produced as well as to the energy expended to do so. For the first time, nine separate food industry categories are thoroughly investigated in an effort to help combat this already acute problem. The current state of environmental management systems is described, offering comparisons of global legislation rarely found in other resources. An extensive review of commercial equipment, including advantages and disadvantages per employed waste management technique, offers a unique perspective for any academic, student, professional, and/or consultant in the food, agriculture and environmental industries.
Academics, students, and professionals and consultants since the large amount of knowledge conveyed will be at various levels. Furthermore, the envisaged readership will be global since the topics are going to be of general and international interest ( Montreal protocol, recent ratification of Kyoto protocols, Rio Conference, etc).The book will be mainly focused on (post)graduates, researchers and continuing education and Open University. It might also be useful for undergraduates in their final year.

The official park position on vehicle lengths can be found here.
After taking Jolly (sans Tana, she stayed at the campground) into the Yosemite several times, I can tell you there is NO way in the world we would ever take a Montana in there no matter what the official statements may say..
For the route on 140 arriving from the east heading towards El Portal, we are too long, if the signs of 45 foot TOTAL are to be believed as well as the $270.00 fine if you decide to try it and get caught. Yep, Tana and Jolly are too long, almost 53 foot when hooked up and running. However, if you study the official position, it seems you can pull 60 foot combined?
There are tunnels that are less than 11 foot at the inner edge, so, try that and it will be good bye Montana roof. Check out that height warning sign, nope, Tana is not 10 foot 4 inches at the side.
A couple of rocks protrude OVER the roads, they have most of those cut back to about 13 foot 6 inches. Tana actually would fit under this, but, why??
That stone is so hard, I shudder to think at the roof damage, ewww. Tana would technically fit, but, just looking at this gives me the heebeejeebees.
This is Arch Rock Entrance on 140 east of El Portal at the park entrance. I drove Jolly through there and it was, mmm, interesting. I had a hard time finding measurements for this entrance on the internet. I finally did find one reference that indicated it was 14 foot tall. Since Jolly fit through, width wise, Tana would have as well. Generally speaking, if Jolly and the big butt fit through, Tana will fit through, in the WIDTH. That said, we could not get here due to the length limitation of 45 feet (noted above).
So, that's my story and I am sticking to it, as they say. We will keep parking/camping with Tana outside the national parks for now. Thanks anyway - -

One of the major talking points in the weeks following the announcement of the UFC on Fox deal was the logistical nightmare it would cause in attempting to find prominent match-ups without diminishing the pay-per-view product. Both Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta consistently stated the importance of the company's PPV model, going so far as to say that it is still their number one priority.
The UFC announced today during a media conference call that UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez will defend his title against Junior dos Santos on the inaugural UFC on Fox card on November 12 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California.

I dropped my guitar and broke one stock tuner on it. I decided to replace them with these Waverly tuners. Takamine uses 6mm Gotoh tuning machines, so I had to replace stock 6mm bushings with 1/4" ones. These tuners are great - very well made, smooth and looks good too.
These tuners are great already. The only thing I would ad is the snakewood buttons are not only beautiful and give the guitar a very stately look, but for me they are easier to tune the guitar with. The wood button just feels better all around. Thanks Stew-Mac for having these available! John
I have been looking for a set of tuners to replace the ones that came with my Taylor GC 12 fret, since I found the ones that came with the guitar to be sloppy especially when you have to de-tune. These tuners fit perfectly with no modification at all. They are very smooth and they look great as well.
Sure, I wish these cost less, but quality doesn't come cheap. I'm about to purchase set #3.
The first two sets operate as smoothly as one could want, and they installed beautifully.
They also never fail to get me grinning when I take the guitars out of their cases ... nor do they ever fail to elicit envious comments from others! Worth purchasing for those "keeper" guitars, hands down.
I chose the snakewood knobs tuners for an oval hole Maccaferri replica and they add a special touch to the beauty of the guitar.
The tuning is smooth, precise and accurate and the guitar play always in tune. Five stars.
I purchased 5 sets to install them on three 10 string guitars from Puerto Rico (Puerto Rican Cuatro). The tuners are definitely of high craftmanship and their operation is very smooth. I guess my only issue is the price, they are way to expensive in comparison with similar horizontal tuners.
